Abstract: | LetL/K be a right quadratic (skew) field extension and let be a 3-dimensional projective space overK which is embedded in a 3-dimensional projective space overL. Moreover, let be a line of which carries no point of. The main result is that — even whenL orK is a skew field — the following holds true: A Desarguesian spread of is given by the set of all lines of which are indicated by the points of . A spread of arises in this way if, and only if, there exists an isomorphism ofL onto the kernel of the spread such thatK is elementwise invariant. Furthermore, a geometric characterization of right quadratic extensions with a left degree other than 2 and of quadratic Galois extensions is given.Dedicated to O. Giering on the occasion of this 60th birthdayThe term field is to mean a not necessarily commutative field. |
